We study the new $Z'$ boson as a portal for the production of Higgs bosons $h_0$ and $H_0$ predicted by the Bestest Little Higgs Model through Higgs-strahlung processes $\mu^+\mu^- \to (Z, Z') \to Zh_0, ZH_0$ . We focus on the resonant and nonresonant effects of the $Zh_0, ZH_0$ signals. In our analysis, we consider the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=3, 4, 6, 10, 30$ TeV and integrated luminosities of ${\cal{L}}=2, 4, 6, 10, 30$ ${ {\rm{ab}}^{-1}}$ projected for a future muon collider. The possibility of performing precision measurements for Higgs bosons $h_0$ and $H_0$ is very promising for the future muon collider. Furthermore, our results may be useful to the High Energy Physics community. Complementarily, we generate and provide the Feynman rules necessary for studying processes $\mu^+\mu^- \to (Z, Z') \to Zh_0, ZH_0$ .

New $\textit{Z}$' boson of the bestest little Higgs model as a portal to signatures of Higgs bosons $\textit{h}$ $_{0}$ and $\textit{H}$ $_{0}$ at the future muon collider

This paper presents a new $$\tau $$ -lepton reconstruction and identification procedure at the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, which leads to significantly improved performance in the case of physics processes where a highly boosted pair of $$\tau $$ -leptons is produced and one $$\tau $$ -lepton decays into a muon and two neutrinos ( $$\tau _\mathrm {\mu }$$ ), and the other decays into hadrons and one neutrino ( $$\tau _\textrm{had}$$ ). By removing the muon information from the signals used for reconstruction and identification of the $$\tau _\textrm{had}$$ candidate in the boosted pair, the efficiency is raised to the level expected for an isolated $$\tau _\textrm{had}$$ . The new procedure is validated by selecting a sample of highly boosted $$Z\rightarrow \tau _\mathrm {\mu }\tau _\textrm{had}$$ candidates from the data sample of 140 $$\textrm{fb}^{-1}$$ of proton–proton collisions at 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. Good agreement is found between data and simulation predictions in both the $$Z\rightarrow \tau _\mathrm {\mu }\tau _\textrm{had}$$ signal region and in a background validation region. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the effectiveness of the $$\tau _\textrm{had}$$ reconstruction with muon removal in enhancing the signal sensitivity of the boosted $$\tau _\mathrm {\mu }\tau _\textrm{had}$$ channel at the ATLAS detector.

Improved reconstruction of highly boosted $$\tau $$ -lepton pairs in the $$\tau \tau \rightarrow (\mu \nu _{\mu }\nu _{\tau })(\text {hadrons}+\nu _{\tau })$$ decay channels with the ATLAS detector

This article investigates the thermodynamic properties of the SU(2) Nambu–Jona–Lasinio (NJL) model under the chiral chemical potential $$ \mu _5 $$ , employing Tsallis non-extensive statistics. The introduction of the parameter $$ q $$ , which characterizes the non-extensivity of the system through Tsallis statistics, offers a novel perspective for studying the behavior of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions. By calculating thermodynamic quantities such as quark mass, critical temperature, chiral density, pressure, entropy, and speed of sound, we systematically analyze the effects of $$ \mu _5 $$ and $$ q $$ on these quantities. It is observed that both $$ \mu _5 $$ and $$ q $$ exhibit an inverse relationship with the critical temperature $$ T_\textrm{pc} $$ , while showing a positive correlation with the chiral density $$\left\langle n_{5}\right\rangle $$ .

<p>We investigate the expected precision of the reconstructed neutrino direction using a <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><msub><mrow><mi>ν</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>μ</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></math>-argon quasielasticlike event topology with one muon and one proton in the final state and the reconstruction capabilities of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber. This direction is of importance in the context of DUNE sub-GeV atmospheric oscillation studies. MicroBooNE allows for a data-driven quantification of this resolution by investigating the deviation of the reconstructed muon-proton system orientation with respect to the well-known direction of neutrinos originating from the Booster Neutrino Beam with an exposure of <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mn>1.3</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mn>10</mn><mn>21</mn></msup></math> protons on target. Using simulation studies, we derive the expected sub-GeV DUNE atmospheric-neutrino reconstructed simulated spectrum by developing a reweighting scheme as a function of the true neutrino energy. We further report flux-integrated single- and double-differential cross section measurements of charged-current <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><msub><mi>ν</mi><mi>μ</mi></msub></math> quasielasticlike scattering on argon as a function of the muon-proton system angle using the full MicroBooNE data sets. We also demonstrate the sensitivity of these results to nuclear effects and final state hadronic reinteraction modeling.</p>
